Homework

Starting a homework

Follow these steps when you begin a homework.

• Fork repo.

• You'll know you're on the right page if it says "forked from" in the upper left corner.

• MAKE SURE YOU ARE WORKING ON YOUR OWN FORK BY CHECKING FOR YOUR NAME IN THE TOP LEFT CORNER.

• Click the "clone button" in the top right to reveal the HTTPS key and copy it.

• In the command line, navigate to the directory where you want your homework to live.

• Once you are there, type the command git clone [_paste https key_]. This will pull all of the information from your remote(browser) repo to a local version of it on your desktop.

• Do your homework.

Submitting a Homework

• First create new branch
  • git branch homework
• Checkout to the new branch
  • git checkout homework

When you've finished your homework, all you have to do is get it online. To do this, follow these steps:

• Stage your changed files.

  • git add -A

• Commit your code.

  • git commit -m "W01D03 Homework"

• Push to your remote repository.

  • git push origin master

  Tip:

  after git add -A you can use the command git status to make sure your changes have been staged before committing

• In your browser, go to your Github repo for the homework. You should now see all of your completed homework there. Once you confirmed you're homework is up online, you can:

• Click on a new pull request.

  Pull requests let you tell others about changes you've pushed to a GitHub repository. Once a pull request is sent, interested parties can review the set of changes, discuss potential modifications, and even push follow-up commits if necessary. We will be using pull requests to submit homework.

  

• Make sure you are comparing the correct repos. The base (first repo) should reference the homework assignment. The head (second repo) should reference the work you completed.

• Fill out your submission. When submitting, include the following:

  • on a scale from 1 to 5, how comfortable were you with this assignment?
  • what was a win you had with this assignment?
  • what was a challenge you had with this assignment?
  • is there anything that you'd like some further information on?
  • other stuff on your mind? work with anyone? tell us about it!
